Midfield
After struggling gravely in the first half of the season, Ranieri has finally found a good midfield.
With Danny Drinkwater and Nampalys Mendy as the attacking midfielders and latest recruit Ndidi in the pivot position, Leicester looked more composed last weekend than they have been in the recent few months.
Although Daniel Amartey’s absence due to AFCON has come at the wrong time of the season, Ndidi is expected to more than makeup for it.
Attack
Jamie Vardy missed the last two games with fever and is expected to return to fitness for the game.
Ranieri is missing services of Riyad Mahrez and Slimani owing to AFCON and we expect Albrighton and Bartosz Kapustka to start on the flanks behind Vardy.
